T TheStalker Banned Aug 23, 2013 171 0 0 Dec 17, 2013 #1 Made a list of my favorite sounding speakers of all time, 50 plus different pairs. Ranging from the 80s to present day. More than half of them used metal tweeters and plastic woofers. A quarter of them used silk tweeters and plastic woofers. So what was not on the list? - Metal Woofers - Ribbon Tweeters - Concentric Drivers - Full Range Drivers - Ceramic Drivers - Active Crossovers - Powered Speakers - Sealed Enclosures - Transmission Line Enclosures - Compression Horns - Waveguides - Ring Radiators - Piezo Tweeters - Super Tweeters - Bipolar Speakers - Dipolar Speakers - THX Speakers - Particleboard Enclosures - Cast Metal Enclosures - Extruded Enclosures - Soundbars - Small Satellite Speakers I wish manufacturers would stay away from these technologies. The market would be filled with better sound. Last edited: Dec 17, 2013

In fact, let me also make a list of speakers I find disagreeable: - tall speakers - short speakers - fat speakers - skinny speakers - smart speakers - stupid speakers - dark speakers - bright speakers - fast speakers - slow speakers - rich speakers - poor speakers - good speakers - bad speakers I wish manufacturers would stay away from these technologies. The market would be filled with better sound. Last edited by a moderator: Oct 19, 2014 Reactions: lsiberian, cpp, cschang and 1 other person
